It's considered a natural reserve and once you get on the other side with the boat, you'll enjoy the landascape and the view on Wannsee and the peace of this place.

On the island, of course, there are peacocks (at the time we've been there just few of them were free) that you can have a look in a restored ancient bird cage. Following the path you can get to a small castle, some nice houses, some fields with horses and it is also part of the Unesco heritage.

The origin of the peacocks on the island is given propably because Frederick William III, turned the island into a model farm and in 1821–1834 had the park redesigned by Peter Joseph Lenné and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who planned several auxiliary buildings. The king also laid out a menagerie modeled on the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris, in which exotic animals.

This part is dedicated to the big building on the north east corner of the area, the only with two floors, Haus des Deutschen Sports which had its original entrance directly from the stairs of the U building with the swimming pool in the middle, but the only way to get in is from the other side where is the Sportmuseum Berlin.

This area can be considered the most interesting and well preserved at all, with its statue and the main entrance at the end of the field on one side, with the golden eagles on the other one.

The inside of the building hosts the Sportmuseum and its exhibition but it's for free and you can get inside to have a look at the marvellous winding staircase.

On the south side of the complex you can also find the Turnhaus and just at the entrance, original paintings of 1936 in neoclassical Roman style with athlets training.

Considering the whole complex, it's really hard to believe that this area has resisted all this time and can be considered mostly untouched.
